Off-road soundtracks, soundscapes, tunes and beats. Award winning dadaist.

Ethan Gold, underground LA songmaker and music artist, is finalizing mixes for his upcoming double-album EARTH CITY, a record about the modern world — longing for human connection, for love and thrill in the city, for connection to nature. Several advance singles have been released in recent months including “Our Love is Beautiful” which arrived with a video of hundreds of people around the world delivering Ethan’s song for human unity in this time of fear and separation.

Gold’s much-lauded debut Songs from a Toxic Apartment (“Best New Music” – Sunday Times London) was a deeply personal work confronting childhood trauma and the sexual ambiguity of adulthood. After a head injury sidelined him for some years, he returned with the naive electronic album Expanses (Teenage Synthstrumentals)  (“Wildly diverting” – Electronic Sound), a mostly 80s live covers record Live Undead Bedroom Closet Covers (“Unhinged but weirdly compelling” – Uncut), and several film scores including the jazz-inflected The Song of Sway Lake, featuring artists John Grant and The Staves singing Ethan’s songs, and the glitchy Blumhouse thriller Don’t Let Go.

Today Gold lives and dreams songs, now writing over half his music while asleep. Through a long recovery, he now credits the temporary breaking of his cognitive ability with a clarified mission to bring caring about the world back into the world. Or, as he says with irony, “Make sensitivity cool again.”

Thanks for listening!

Morestage is a new age post-rock band formed in 2007 and currently made up of 7 members playing a variety of instruments Guitar x3, keyboard, base, drums, VJ. 

Each of their pieces is composed of instrumental “sounds” and evolves and unfolds freely paying homage to its classical counterpart while building to an epic climax that resonates deeply in the heart and mind. The “poems” and “paintings” that capture the world of each piece have received high praise and are included in their first mini album “810” which is enjoying a wide release at both Tower Records and Zankyo Shop. 

Through Crowdfunding and the generous support of many corporate sponsors Morestage organized “感覚-KANKAKU-2015”（2015/01) an entirely free art festival that drew a crowd of nearly 300 people and put forward the possibility of an entirely new music festival; one that can be enjoyed with unfettered senses and imagination. 

These events, MV, CD and applications are all independently produced. Morstage has transcended the simple concept of a “band” evolving freely, like their work, into a creative group with a unique vision and worldview.

インスト(“音”)で構成される各作品は、クラシックのように自由な展開をしながら壮大なクライマックスに向かって聴く人の心を響かせる。

各作品の世界観を表した”詩””絵画”も好評を博し、これらを閉じ込めたミニアルバム「810」はタワーレコードや残響ショップにて広く展開。

また、クラウドファンディング・企業協賛により開催費用を集めた入場無料の芸術祭 [感画 -KANKAKU- 2015] (2015年1月) は約300名を動員し、自由な感覚・発想で楽しめる新しいフェスの可能性を提示した。
